I guarantee Ivanka will address this with that calm, pseudo-thoughtful, breathy cadence she has, and then go to bed with its $5,000 linens and sleep peacefully, giving not a solitary fuck about the issue

Someone yesterday mentioned the she looks like Voldemort and now I can’t unsee it. Even in the prettiest possible packaging, the ugly shines through.

For a hostile work environment - they laugh at me and criticize for not being a Republican - where the lone Democrat is mocked and singled out during work hours. This is explicitly forbidden according to our handbook.

I don’t know what to tell you. I recently quit my crossfit gym for the same reason. I loved the environment initially (about 2 years ago) but after the election and all the stupid shit I saw posted online by them, I had to go.

Sometimes a pause or a “why is that funny?” does the trick.

We have this problem at my workplace too, though the worst offender is one person who is otherwise pleasant enough but who I don’t personally care for. I framed the issue as, “Can we tone down the political conversations or avoid them entirely?” My coworker is tone deaf as well, so I had to try multiple times and…

I agree it was the duty of every teacher with personal knowledge that this had occurred to report it to the administration. However, laughter is sometimes involuntarily--I have been in more than a few situations in which I tried very hard to suppress my own laughter, but did not always succeed at doing so.

I love my job but I’m not so far in an ivory tower that I don’t acknowledge that there are bad teachers in our profession. But this is so, so beyond bad teaching. The fact that other teachers actually laughed is even worse. I know some places seem to be much more casual about racism than others, but come on, how could…

I agree. It is truly unbelievable. The depths of stupidity (and other admirable traits) must be beyond measurement if this was able to bubble to the top and actually escape as an idea to follow through on. Just amazing.

Without a doubt. Everyone who was in the room who didn’t immediately report this. It’s not just about laughing. If you were there and you didn’t report you need to go. These people are mandated reporters and they have to report anything that they even suspect could be emotional or psychological abuse. (To be fair...…

I wouldn’t trust or hire a single teacher that works at that school. (I feel sorry for any new teachers who’ve landed here who are now associated with the place.) There is no way this happened in a vacuum. This is clearly indicative of the culture of teaching at this location.

Did this woman award herself the most likely to get fired for being a massive asshole award?

Other inclusions were “Most Likely to Become Homeless in Guatemala” and “Most Likely to Cry,” so it sounds like they may all have been terrible and cruel. Both is also a possibility. There are a small number of particularly bad teachers who I think despise all their students.

I am sure that teacher was not alone in this and probably all the teachers that participated in the ceremony should also go, but I guess at least the one who signed the certs is gone? Ugh.

I’ve shared before, but I was out at a bar in NE DC with friends and as soon as Trump won Ohio a group of college students started doing Nazi salutes and cheering. Fun fact? These were Gallaudet students, so they are all hearing impaired. Pretty sure neither Trump nor Hitler respected the deaf. Obviously wenleft the…

But they act like shitheads in part because they’re testing boundaries—they’re developing a sense of what is and isn’t an okay way to act. And they’re learning, now, that it’s socially acceptable to be hateful. So, like, yes, kids are always assholes, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t cause for concern, or that…

Except Eric Trump continued to promote the golf fundraisers as all money is going to the charity, and continued to promote that Trump was donating the course. So he lied, and defrauded people to gain charitable donations, which in turn were paid to Trump’s org.

Nope. They said the money was for St. Judes and then they diverted the money that was for St. Judes away from St. Judes to their own pockets. People who donated the money were conned into thinking the money would go to St. Judes. Thats wrong. Sorry, you can’t justify it.

In order to volunteer at any of the schools in our school district, you have to fill out an application which includes permission for them to do a background check. I am of the hope that ‘former serial killer’ would preclude someone from volunteering.

This lady, in additon to being a racist, sounds like a special class of fruit loop (O pioneer, if you move to a predominantly black neighborhood, maybe expect to see black folks standing on the sidewalk outside of your house?). But WTF is going on with the Southampton police? Per the Press:
